On the first day of this month I could pass the Lotte Department Store at Myungdong, Seoul. People gathered taking photos. I looked into out of curiosity. There were two little tigers of six-month-old in a pane glass box. The department held an event of showing tigers because the next year would be a Year of Tiger as a zodiac sign in orient. Though the weather was cold the staff said that the floor was being heated by electricity. I was lucky to sketch them in downtown, Myungdong.

2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.

very sensitive drawings. very nice.
You've captured them very well. A tiger in the flesh is an awe inspiring experience.
Tigers at Departmental Store? that's not an urban myth... nice drawings.
Thank you Greg, Matthew, and Tia! I hesitated to put the sketchbook out for a moment. But I did as a sketcher of USK.:)
